By OB Bureau On Dec 30, 2020

Cuttack: The Bharatiya Bikash Parishad on Wednesday filed another miscellaneous petition in the Orissa High Court for polygraph test of the persons accused in the FIR filed in the murder case of minor girl Pari of Jadupur village in Nayagarh district.

In the petition, president of the Bharatiya Bikash Parishad Surendra Panigrahi said he had filed a writ petition in the court earlier to direct the CBI to take up the investigation into the murder of the minor girl in July this year.

The petitioner further said that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Crime Branch constituted by the state government has identified the accused and arrested Saroj Sethi of Jadupur village claiming that he murdered the girl and raped the dead body as his human semen stains were found on the frock of the deceased.

However, the claim of the SIT that Saroj Sethi is the prime accused is found wrong as the State Forensic Science Laboratory (SFSL), which received the frock, one torn jute sack bag and one GI wire from the police for examination, in its report submitted in the court of the Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate (SDJM), Nayagarh, has stated that semen stain in the girl’s frock could not be detected due to degradation. Besides, the blood and semen stains and the hair samples on the old jute sack also could not be detected, Panigrahi said.

The petitioner also said as the mother of the minor girl has named some individuals in the FIR and the police are yet to interrogate them, the report submitted by the SIT cannot be said as correct.

Under the above facts and circumstances, the petitioner appealed to the court to allow this miscellaneous petition and entrust the case to CBI for proper and objective investigation and direct the SIT to interrogate the individuals named in the FIR and conduct their polygraph test to nab the prime accused involved in the heinous crime.
